Development and engineering company Nota Energy plans to complete a comprehensive autonomous energy supply project at an agricultural enterprise in Ukraine’s Kirovohrad region in October 2026. The project includes a 5.8 MW solar power plant and 16 MWh of battery energy storage capacity, according to the company’s co-owner Andrii Yatsentiuk.
The enterprise specializes in breeding 60,000 pigs and operates grain elevators with storage capacity for 200,000 tonnes, as well as feed and canning plants. To fully cover its electricity needs, the company selected a system combining rooftop solar installations across nearly 20 buildings, battery energy storage, and a diesel generator, all managed through a single EMS platform. The expected investment payback period is 3.5 years.
The first phase of the project — the installation of part of the solar capacity — has already been completed within four months. By October 2026, the company plans to finish installation of the second solar phase, connect the battery storage system, and launch the automated control platform. Surplus electricity generated by the system will be sold on the power market under the status of an “active consumer.”
Nota Energy provides the full cycle of development and management of energy assets for businesses: energy audits, autonomous system design, financing solutions, engineering, equipment supply, installation and commissioning, as well as further technical maintenance with a guarantee, Andrii Yatsentiuk said.
The company also assumes the financial risks of such projects. “We offer an optimal solution: advance financing of up to 30% backed by a bank guarantee, or in some cases we fully invest in the project,” he added. Earlier, a similar solution was implemented for an oil extraction plant where the grid operator’s capacity did not cover the enterprise’s needs, and Nota Energy installed a 4.5 MW gas turbine cogeneration system. According to the company’s estimates, the payback period was around three years, while return on invested capital reached 25% annually.
Nota Energy’s current project portfolio exceeds 500 MW of connected capacity, with a total value of about €540 million. The company continues to develop and invest in energy solutions for businesses and investors, offering integrated systems for autonomous power supply.
